India’s home minister said Tuesday that three suspected militants who were killed in a gunfight in disputed Kashmir a day earlier were responsible for the gun massacre in the region that led to a military clash between India and Pakistan.
Amit Shah said the three men were Pakistani nationals and were killed in a joint operation by the military, paramilitary and police Monday on the outskirts of Kashmir’s main city of Srinagar. Shah made the remarks in India’s lower house of the parliament, and The Associated Press couldn’t independently verify the details.
